LAG - Tramontane Signature Michel Haumont

A solid Sitka spruce top, AAA quality, is the pinnacle of its kind to ensure a natural, balanced response, beyond its accomplished aesthetic. And what wood could go better than ovangkol with its impressive grain and yellow-brown hues with copper highlights? Furthermore, like the oval rosette marked with the Lâg Occitan cross, the head logo as well as the MH signature in mother-of-pearl add that classy je ne sais quoi which places the model among the most successful of the moment.
But what about the sound? Surprisingly, given the dimensions of the instrument, the power is clearly present with a precise projection which reinforces the primary purpose of this guitar: playing with the right hand on the fingers, a way of playing facilitated by the center distance widened strings near the bridge. The ovangkol delivers clarity and depth which combine with the warm sound of the table, characteristics which are found once the TS-MH-PE is connected thanks to the Fishman preamp which faithfully respects the natural acoustic sound.
A guitar that ostensibly announces what it is: a model intended for playing with finesse where every detail of the interpretation is highlighted, while maintaining a truly astonishing volume for this body format. Top of the range which imposes itself in the same way in the choice of woods or mechanics, impeccable. And it is therefore no coincidence that this TSE-MH bears the signature of Michel Haumont who has symbolized harmonious playing among the greatest French artists for many years.
